Memorial Day 2016

Our Memorial day was wonderful. It would have been even better if we would have had Sam with us to enjoy the day and reflect on the meaning of the Holiday. Below is the excerpt from my Memorial Day instagram post. I enjoyed so much being with my kids, our puppy and takings lots of pictures of them with the flag that I love so much!

"We've spent the last few hours outdoors just enjoying the beauty and the freedom we have to do so. I wanted this day to feel different. It's difficult for me to say "Happy" Memorial Day. Instead, from our family to you, enjoy this day that we've been blessed with because of those brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice. It is because of them we are able to keep on enjoying life. Freedom isn't free. I'm beyond grateful that there are those who will fight. I wish so many hadn't perished in the process and left empty spaces in the hearts and lives of those who loved them. God bless America." -@lexischeid
